  <h2><a name="About" id="About">About</a></h2>
  <p><a name="About" id="About">Python  FTP server library provides a high-level portable interface to easily  write asynchronous FTP servers with Python. Based on <strong>asyncore</strong> framework pyftpdlib is currently the most complete </a><a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc959.html" rel="nofollow">RFC-959</a> FTP server implementation available for <a href="http://www.python.org/" rel="nofollow">Python</a> programming language. </p>
  <h2><a name="Features" id="Features">Features</a></h2>
  <ul>
    <li><a name="Features" id="Features">Support for recent FTP commands like <strong>MLSD</strong>, <strong>MLST</strong>, <strong>SIZE</strong> and <strong>MDTM</strong> defined in </a><a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3659.html" rel="nofollow">RFC-3659</a>. </li>
    <li>Support for <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTPS" rel="nofollow">FTPS</a></strong> (FTP over TLS/SSL, still experimental and provided as a <a href="http://code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib/source/browse/trunk/demo/tls_ftpd.py" rel="nofollow">demo script</a>). </li>
    <li>Support for <strong><a href="http://www.proftpd.org/docs/howto/FXP.html" rel="nofollow">FXP</a></strong>, site-to-site transfers. </li>
    <li>Support for <strong>IPv6</strong> (<a href="ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2428.txt" rel="nofollow">RFC-2428</a>). </li>
    <li>NAT/Firewall support with <strong>PASV/EPSV</strong> passive mode connections. </li>
    <li>Support for resumed transfers. </li>
    <li>Per-user permissions configurability. </li>
    <li>Maximum connections limit. </li>
    <li>Per-source-IP limits. </li>
    <li>Configurable idle timeouts for both control and data channels. </li>
    <li>Compact: the entire library is distributed in a single file (<a href="http://pyftpdlib.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pyftpdlib/ftpserver.py" rel="nofollow">ftpserver.py</a>). </li>
    <li>High portability: </li>
    <ul>
      <li>Entirely written in pure Python, no third party modules are used. It works on any system where <em>select( )</em> or <em>poll( )</em> is available. </li>
      <li>Extremely flexible system of &quot;authorizers&quot; able to manage both &quot;virtual&quot; and &quot;real&quot; users on different platforms (<strong>Windows</strong>, <strong>UNIX</strong>, <strong>OSx</strong>). </li>
    </ul>
  </ul>
